I received an email from Bovada with an interesting opportunity to play in a wsop ME Freeroll.

Im thinking with the advantage at around 52% at black jack, the investment should cost around $5. But even if you were to loose every hand, the entry would only be $105.

Just play $100 at the 21 table for 21 hands and post back here, how much you made earning your entry or how badly you got your ass handed to ya. lol

Nice! Now when will bodog follow suit on this? Seems you US guys playin' on Bodonka get more promos then us Canucks.
What an awesome way to play the WSOP! (forward to TV interview, "Hi Judith, we hear you won your entry via a Bodonka freeroll.... ")
$5,800 in runner-up prizes sounds nice also!

Casino donks playin' poker sounds like a fishier freeroll field than usual.

Would be very cool to see someone from Cardschat win this!

My 21 $5 Black Jack Hands Video

I posted to YouTube my qualifying hands for the above promotion. It ended up costing me like $2.50 I think. Don't mind the S&G push from the BB with snowmen, the PFRer was playing ATCs. And yes, on occasion I try and out smart the crooked OLCasino's Black Jack computer by hitting the unexpected or staying light.

If you play your hands on Sunday you will also qualify for the blackjack Sunday promotion where you get a $21 bonus if you get a BlackJack while betting at least $5 per hand. I think there is like a 20x rollover on it, but it's still extra money if you are going to be playing anyways.

That doesn't work because the Sunday Blackjack promo has to be played in the Casino and the $15k Blackjack WSOP has to played in the poker client.

I gave it a couple of day and sent them an email asking why and below is the response they sent me within like an hour.

Basically I should get it Tuesday the 30th, I think, fingers crossed.

No it doesn't. I just got a bonus today for my play yesterday which was in the poker client. I does have a 20x rollover, but you can reach that by playing poker.

I have a ticket for this, not sure how good my chances will be since already near 200 signed up. I expect around 1500 total (guessing) and first place is the only one to get ME buy in. I have also got a ticket into one of the 500$ ME sats where roughly 1 in 32 will win a package. Not sure what one to get in since they have 1 2 3 4 and 10 seat guarantees currently. Right now leaning to try on may 4th in the 4 seat guarantee so I will still have time to try again if needed. Any advice on this for which may be best would be appreciated.

Your game is your game so just play one hand at a time. Never think about the vastness of the field because your only playing at one table. The only overall intel you need consider is the average stack size and your relation to it & you "M" or BB ( which ever you prefer).

Never let yourself loose all fold equity. Id rather shove 5M with KTos OOP and bust out of the tournament than shove KK OTB with 1M (And No Fold Equity), only to bet felted by a 62os BB who had to call.

Size of field does matter with guaranteed seats. I am sure bovada knows what they are doing and they usually cover the guarantee, but if a tournament has fewer players than needed to cover guarantee I would be getting better odds entering that one. A 2 seat guarantee with 62 players pays 2 seats, if a 4 seat guarantee has 62 players it pays 4 seats. Basically i am asking if anyone has experience or watched these last year to find out if anything like this has happened and if so what may be the best to use my ticket on.

Interesting. I might try this out. I just deposited on Bovada for the first and I am still contemplating on which tournaments, cash games or whatever it is I will use my money on.

I agree with Murray that you have to vary your play. I had very little luck playing by the book. If you play on the poker client don't forget to use the 'surrender'.

Damn you, CAMurray. Damn you. *shakes fist*

OK, kidding. Sorta. And, kindly excuse the vulgarity.

Lost 9 of first 10, the last while doubling 10 v. 6. Even drew the 10. I was not happy.

Lost 3 of next 4, so now down $55. I may have, I repeat may have been regretting this attempt at a 'Freeroll.'

Salvaged 6 of the last 7, including a natural, so at least I am no longer suicidal. Homicidal, perhaps, but this whole internet deal is anonymous, so Mr. Murray, you'll only have to deal with the occasional swear word and my boorishness.

All that to say, I'm hoping cander's estimate of 1500 is high. I figure down $27.50, that 750 players or so makes me about even. Or so I try to tell myself.

Thought I'd offer a little help.

Up 100 duckets in 15 minutes. You gotta take advantages of them spots.

Let Kid from PA or another Mate play for you, this is a shot at the BIG ONE.

Letting the wife play would be like having the kids drive themselves to school, for me.

Got to be in it, to win it!

363 in currently one more round of tickets to be sent out plus all the players who have a tik and haven't entered. I am player 48 if anyone cares :) being player 21 sounds like an omen. Good luck to everyone who is in it. 20x rollover requirement in the casino on all the secondary prizes really sucks imo.
